Thanks for the tips, John. I don't know that I'd ever get a true-blue Tele "twang" given the pickup configuration and the difference between the contemporary and original wide-range humbuckers without using digital effects -- which is one of the things I really like about the Orange amps. And

Lately, I really like the Blackstar line of combo amps. I bought a HT-1R as a travel & practice amp. It's plenty loud even at 1 Watt. I think both companies (Orange & Blackstar) were founded by former Marshall techs. Thing is, I don't think either of them offers the kind of country "twang" that

Thank you, Chris! I'm hoping the 35-watt Orange will do the trick. I was really impressed with the 20-watt version of it when I played through it at the guitar shop. Right now, I'm playing through a Behringer -- which is OK, but not great. -- Walt On 2/8/2014 3:15 AM, Chris Mitchell wrote:

Thank you, Frank! She may sound that lovely in better hands than mine. I'm truly unworthy of her, but I'm working on it. At the moment, I sound awful. I wasn't prepared for how thin the neck would be, so it's going to take some practice. Luckily, she's the kind of guitar that makes you want

She's a beauty! Beautiful blond finish, lovely patina and I especially like that pearl pick-guard. I bet she sounds as lovely as she looks. Congrats! Cheers, frank On 5 February, 2014 7:12:51 PM EST, Walt wrote: >After much waiting and angst-ridden anticipation, my '72 Fender >Telecaster T

Thank you, Bruce! At first, I was only really interested in a standard-configuration Tele -- mostly for the world-renowned twang. But, I came across this guitar at an *absolute steal* ($530 with tweed-covered hardshell case -- shipped and insured) and I just could not pass it up. It's a gu
